Installing Yii2 via Composer

Installing Yii2 via Composer is not hard. Currently, the stable version available is 2.0.6.
Here's how to really do it, the easy way:

sudo apt-get install composer

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.1"

For installing the basic version of the framework:

composer create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced mywebsite 2.0.6

For installing the advanced version of the framework:

composer create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced mywebsite 2.0.6

You will require a GitHub token, which requires an account, but it's an easy an straightforward step.

./M6

Video Conversionn with ffmpeg

While searching for how to convert a2v video into a mov, I found everything that one wanted to know about ffmpeg but was afraid to ask explained in a simple way in here: this forum answer.

In short, just do

ffmpeg -format

to list all formats. Then use this simple command to convert between video formats:

ffmpeg -i {input_video_file} -f {format} {ouput_video_file}

In my case, my command was:

ffmpeg -i Passadeiras\ Ativas.m2v -an -f mov teste.mov

since I was converting to a mov file and stripping the sound.

./M6
